Chapter 334: Chapter 213: Your Highness, I Have Regained My Memory_2
I don’t know how long it passed, when he almost fainted from oxygen deprivation, that Ivyst finally slowly raised her head.
A crystal-clear thin thread slowly fell.
“What did you just want to say?”
Gazing at the boy in her arms, Ivyst caught her breath slightly, then gently raised her eyebrows with an implying tone.
“I…”
Lynn was about to explain.
...
But before he could speak, he was silenced by her index finger pressing against his lips.
Feeling her cold yet delicate finger on his lips, he then heard Princess’s soft prompt by his ear.
“It seems you have some Extraordinary Ability that easily gains others’ trust, given to you by that lowly woman, right?”
At this point, the lust and fervor in Ivyst’s eyes somewhat faded, as if regaining a bit of clarity.
Meanwhile, her slender thumb gently caressed Lynn’s lips, as if feeling his temperature and contours, and as if pondering over some dangerous matter.
Is she talking about the Lie Swallowing?
Indeed, it seems my little tricks still can’t deceive her.
Lynn’s expression became solemn.
The Lie Swallowing was already difficult to affect Transcendents above Fifth Rank, let alone if she was already on alert.
“You only have one chance to speak.”
Ivyst seemed to particularly enjoy Lynn’s lips, touching them for a while, and then her face reddened again, her eyes slightly blurred as she lowered her head and made a “choo” sound.
“To prevent you from having any more improper ideas, after you say this sentence, I will temporarily deprive you of the right to use your mouth…hmm, except for your tongue.”
Hearing this, Lynn’s eyes widened slightly.
But the cruel words did not stop.
“As for the time limit, let’s tentatively set it for three months, and how things go afterward depends on your performance.”
“Additionally, I will also take away your limbs,” Ivyst’s voice was very gentle, interlocking fingers with Lynn, “Don’t worry, I will use Dimensional Slicing, so there won’t be any pain through the process, and it can be reattached later without affecting your daily activities.”
“Don’t blame me for being too cruel, okay?”
“This is to prevent you, my disobedient little dog, from running around, and it’s a measure I’m forced to take… Ultimately, whether making you fall in love with your owner or whatever I did for you, I’ve given you countless chances before, but you failed to cherish them.”
“Hereafter, I must transform your body and soul into the kind that ‘can’t function without its owner’.”
They look like the world’s most affectionate couple, but the words out of her mouth are so hair-raising.
It’s not surprising that Ivyst would think this way.
In her view, her little doggie had barely survived from Orn City and not long after faced a similar situation.
She was truly scared.
Fearing that one day, Lynn would leave her completely.
If that happened, she would surely go insane with loneliness, even wanting to destroy everything.
Hence, the previously suppressed obsessive thoughts re-emerged.
She had to protect the treasure of her life, not letting any outsider covet him anymore, including that lowly woman in the future.

Even if… she would have to use methods he wouldn’t like.
People that Ivyst cherishes are few, and her way of expressing feelings always appears twisted and insane.
Besides Lynn, perhaps no one else could tolerate her behavior.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he had not grasped this layer of thought from the Princess.
Dimensional Slicing, indeed would not bring him any pain, it wouldn’t even have any effect, merely a method of distorting space, not acting on the flesh.
On the other hand, it meant that he would be rendered immobile, at Ivyst’s mercy.
Although he believed the Princess would not do anything that would harm his life and health, being completely deprived of freedom and locked in a dingy Underground Prison, day in and day out, invaded by big sister, was too wretched.
Ignoring the tiny tempted thought deep within, Lynn took a deep breath.
To give him a chance to say one sentence is but a joke to laugh off, it will not affect her subsequent actions at all.
After all, Ivyst has always been that paranoid and stubborn woman from the original story!
If he truly gets caught, not only will Tiya be assimilated by the Bright Moon Goddess as per the script, but the progress Ivyst had painstakingly made to deviate the plot might likely drop again.
Obsessing over hatred daily, she would eventually be surpassed by Xiya, wallowing in resentment and biding her time!
So that’s how it is.
A faint realization suddenly dawned on him.
If the ease with which he had previously escaped from Xiya and the others seemed too good to be true, then perhaps this current predicament was the true punishment meted out by the World Will.
No.
He must find a way to free himself.
Lynn subtly twisted his body, but found that in front of a Sixth Rank Demigod, he was as powerless as an infant.
“Don’t bother wasting your strength, baby,” Ivyst’s tone had changed, now gentle like a neighborhood big sister holding an infant, emanating a maternal glow all over, “Think carefully, what would you like to say to your master when you meet again?”
“If you can sweet-talk the master, maybe your punishment will be lighter, you know?”
Believe you? Hell no!
While brainstorming, Lynn rolled his eyes inwardly.
But one thing was true.
If he honestly said something like “Let me go, I need to save another woman,” that would be a sure way to court death.
It wasn’t just suicidal for himself, but it would also bring unwarranted disaster upon Tiya.
So, at the end of the day, considering Ivyst’s pathological possessiveness, his statement had to revolve around her.
However, mindless flattery wasn’t the way to go either.
After all, he had spoken similar words too many times before, and she was immune to them now.
Ultimately, escaping from the clutches of a Sixth Rank Demigod was not an easy task.
Especially when she was on high alert.
If he could use Time Concealment, she would likely be powerless to stop him, for it dealt with the realms of time and destiny. With Ivyst’s current Rank, she had yet to touch upon such powers.
But the problem was, he had no opportunity to use it.
Before that, he must go through the steps of “breaking free from the embrace,” “retreating to a safe distance,” and “activating his ability before Ivyst makes a move.”
Just the first step was enough to drive one to despair.
Who could resist a Sixth Rank Demigod’s loving embrace?
How utterly hopeless.
Unless… unless her heart suffered an unprecedented breach, potent enough to make her distracted.
Only then might he seize the fleeting gap and successfully break free.
At this moment, he seemed to be on the brink of a dire predicament.
As time whizzed by, Ivyst’s burning gaze lingered over Lynn’s face, as if she wanted to completely strip him bare and kiss him all over.
…No.
This was not a dead end!
In an instant, a spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through Lynn’s mind!
And this fleeting change, of course, did not escape Ivyst’s eyes.
“Your heartbeat suddenly quickened,” she said with a sultry smile, “Thinking of how to deceive your master, huh? That won’t do. If you do, I might get very angry… Hmm!”
The next second, Ivyst’s elegant eyebrows furrowed tightly, her bright red eyes widened, and the words she was about to say were forced back down her throat.
Moments later, her eyes revealed an unprecedented surprise, along with a barely detectable hint of bewilderment.
At some point, the young man had embraced her neck and engaged her in a deep kiss.
“Mmm…”
Being so intimately embraced by the young man in her arms, disregarding the influence of the desire mark, was a first for her.
After a long moment, their lips parted.
Ivyst slowly lifted her head, a light blush on her fair cheeks, either from the lack of breath or the shyness in her heart.
Looking at the Princess with her dazed expression, Lynn took a deep breath.
“There’s something I must tell you.”
Ivyst, still breathing slightly, gently pressed her cool, slender fingertip once more against Lynn’s lips: “That counts as one sentence, you know.”
As she spoke, the blood-red light that shimmered on and off her body surface erupted, and the vibrations of the Divine-given factor followed.
However, Lynn did not do as she wished, but instead took the lead in seizing Ivyst’s fingertip.
Then he delivered the killing blow.
“Your Highness… I have regained my memory.”
